As Oscar Hammerstein II put it:
The music is sweet
The words are true
The song is you…
And there are songs to be sung for you — and by you — all around Minnesota this week.
Ahead of its concert performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem, you can join in a free community sing-along with the Bach Society of Minnesota this weekend in St. Paul. Meanwhile, the Choral Arts Ensemble offers a concert about kindness and respect, qualities that seem in short supply of late. The singers of Cantus collaborate with the legendary Swingle Singers this weekend in St. Paul, with streaming options wherever you are.
Meanwhile, a sense of place roots the Winona Symphony’s concert with Minnesota mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski, singing Raspberry Island Dreaming, by Minnesota composer Libby Larsen. Another superb Minnesota mezzo, Alma Neuhaus, has a career trajectory that’s taken her from her Minneapolis home, to her student days at St. Olaf College, to her current position at the Vienna State Opera. She makes a homecoming in a free recital at the Bethlehem Music Series (also with streaming options). Finally, catch the superb soprano Julia Bullock with the Minnesota Orchestra. Last year, she won the Grammy for best classical solo vocal album, and the past few summers she’s been a marquee talent at the Lakes Area Music Festival in Brainerd. Catch her on our live Minnesota Orchestra broadcast this Friday.
